Winter 2007

In these pictures we celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, Chanukah, and Christmas! Plus some pictures of Melissa as she gets more and more gravid, as we celebrate her birthday at Chateau Tivoli in San Francisco. Then we had a great trip to Bear Valley up in the Sierra Nevadas for a visit to snow country, sledding and skiing.
